Part III

But now I am in my office. My working day will be over in half an hour. What shall I do in the evening?

I’ll come back home at seven o’clock. As usual, I’ll greet my wife and children; we’ll exchange news and then at about eight o’clock we’ll have supper together. I’ll help my wife to lay the table. After supper, though I don’t like it, I’ll wash up. It is my duty. At nine, as always, I am going to watch the TV news programme. Then a feature film will be on and my wife will join me by all means. Besides, I’ll answer some telephone calls and ring somebody up myself. At half past eleven I’ll go to bed, and the next morning the alarm-clock will wake me up very early.
